Dammit Nintendo, take some of that money and throw it away translating Japan-only games like Mother 3 or Stafy. It'll be a better use than wiimote condoms.

Nintendo is the only one who profits from the actual system, everyone elses system profit is more like a loss.

Dear God, why?

they just destroyed the wii silicon accessory market

Stupid! Unless you are a small child, there is no excuse for throwing your Wiimote at the TV. Nintendo should not have to waste money on this shit.

Nintendo should include a giant packet of cyanide gas in every Wiimote that will rupture and instantly fill the room if the Wiimote ever comes under excessive force or breaks due to Wiitard strength.

$17 million? That's less than what Reggie blows every two weeks on shrimp cocktails and Thai prostitutes.

free is free... i just ordered four

I will never get tired of that picture. Kudos to Nintendo!

What makes this even better, i just ordered 4 of them, and I only have 1 wiimote lol

Fools!

Hmm so I actually already bought some other aftermarket "skins" for the remotes I have, but since MOAR FREE=GOOD I will prolly get some of the free ones as well....the race is on to find the best non-wiimote-covering use for these things since they're just giving them away!

Oh and 17 Million? yeah right... Nintendo prolly just bought one of the companies that made these things and is now regaining lost ground.


free stuff hurray!

$17 million will buy A LOT of thai prostitutes

My post with out fanboyism? Here it is.

It's been said before time and time again, but even though 17 million seems like a lot, Nintendo is the only company actually selling their game system right. I've seen some of the video's of people losing their tv's and it's funny but sad. All systems have the bad launch moves, but that's the worse by far. Even if you do have a system to play, you have no TV to play it on. If your 360 redlighted, it didn't brick your TV. The lack of titles wouldn't cripple the pixels on-screen.

Nintendo did power through that small hurdle and ran multiple laps in console sales, passing the Black loogie coughing PS3 and 360. The only problem I have with it is the lack of new games. I've already played with Mario 28 times already. Now all I see are more mario games with other characters in other classics franchises being released. I have no problem with people who play the Wii. I just disagree with them to the point that I don't want to associate myself with anyone who owns one. So far so good.

Also, I have random fits of fanboy sometimes. My doctor recommended diet and exercise. That's why I ignore him and play more games. That irritates it. I'll try to keep it under control using homemade electroshock(broken extension cord)to calm it down. Also, EG is not witty. It's pretty much the noob rant. If you found that amusing, go. If not, stay FAR away. I think that covers it.

"i think that microsoft has actually got it so where they break even
on the 360s"

The billion plus bucks Microsoft is spending to repair/replace their craptastic 360s should shove profitability a little further down the road, no?

It's hard to turn a profit where every console you sell results in a need for three replacements.
